THE

GEORGETOWN, S. C. 

COMPILED BY 

BARNETT A. ELZAS, M. D. LL. D. 

CHARLESTON. S. C. 
19 10. 



The Jewish cemetery at Gjorgetown is the second oldest Jewish ceme- 
tery in South Carolina, and contains a number of inscriptions of historical 
interest. I have not been able to trace its history owing to the fact that 
the records in Georgetown prior to the War are no longer in existence.
